If you receive a similar email, go to your PayPal account through a separate window or tab (do not go through any links contained in the message - never click on a link within a suspicious email) and check your account. If no "bogus" charge is there, then you are OK. If there is a charge you do not recognize, immediately contact PayPal. Do this for the next couple of days.
Thanks, Bob, for the head's up.

What Bobby said, but also, always report these to the company involved. In this case, PayPal. Forward a copy of the email through this link
